Earlier in the year Chipper Jones came out and said this was most likely his last year, but he seems to have changed his mind...
"I don't want the last memory of me to be laying out behind third base. On top of that, I was playing really well and I was swinging the bat really well. I was healthy and I was running the bases good. My frame of mind was really focused. I just want to keep going," said the 38-year-old.
I don't blame him. He has had a great career and that's not the way he wants to see it end. Plus this is a very good, and young team, so most likely they will be in it again next year.
Jones has two years remaining on his deal and is guaranteed to make $13MM for each of those seasons, which probably didn't hurt his decision to come back.
